Gulp gulp-
Falling into the lake, Harry gulped several mouthfuls of cold water in a blur of haste.
As he struggled to open his eyes, he could only barely see that Professor Leddy was holding his arm in a death grip while pointing his wand at him with his other hand.
This scared Harry a little.
Could Professor Leddy be...?
NO!
Harry couldn't believe that Professor Leddy, who would protect him in a moment of crisis, would suddenly harm him.
'Whew...'
His breathing suddenly eased.
Harry saw that his head seemed to be encased in a transparent bubble that separated the water and allowed him to see clearly what was in front of him.
He saw Professor Leddy point his wand at himself, and then Professor Leddy had the same bubble over his head.
"This is the Bubble-Head Charm, this charm allows us to breathe freely underwater."
Professor Leddy explained before quickly saying, "Harry, we have to get back to the castle as soon as possible. I'll take you to swim there, you help me keep an eye on the back, that black-robed man probably won't give up so easily."
Harry nodded his head in a hurry, before turning his head towards behind him.
"Harry, do you remember how to use the Shield Charm?"
Professor Leddy's voice sounded again, "I'm counting on you for my safety."
Harry gripped his wand nervously, he couldn't betray Professor Leddy's trust.
'Where the hell did that man come in from?' Professor Leddy's heart was heavy.
The last year had been turbulent, not only at Hogwarts but also in the wizarding world.
First, there was an attack at Hogwarts, and then Azkaban also suffered an attack, and after the summer holidays started, there was another attack at Hogwarts.
The assailant who attacked Hogwarts had been caught, but the assailant who attacked Azkaban ... Although the Ministry of Magic claimed that they killed the assailant on the spot, Professor Leddy knew that it was simply a lie that the Ministry of Magic made up to maintain its image.
In fact, the assailant was still at loose.
The magic world was very unstable.
And that person's dress ... was exactly the same as the Death Eaters back then, and his purpose ... was clearly Harry!
'Does he want to capture Harry?'
Professor Leddy analysed, 'He looked at Harry, but the target of that killing curse was me!'
As he was thinking, Professor Leddy suddenly felt some tightness in Harry's arm muscles, and then he heard Harry's voice, "Professor Leddy, that man is coming after us!"
"Keep me informed! Harry, how far is he from us?" Professor Leddy inquired as he accelerated and swam towards the front.
"About thirty metres," Harry shouted.
Professor Leddy's face sank slightly as he suddenly thought of something.
Since this black-robed man dared to launch an attack at Hogwarts, completely disregarding Dumbledore. That meant that he had already grasped Dumbledore's whereabouts.
In fact, as a professor, Professor Leddy knew very well that Dumbledore had been going out a lot in recent times.
There was a traitor among the professors!
Or, perhaps the assailant was a professor himself.

On the shore of the Black Lake, Andy sat on a bench and was looking at the distant scenery with a relaxed and carefree look.
It was sunset at dusk, and the water of the Black Lake was dyed a golden colour. The mountains in the distance stretched out, undulating, and had already hidden a little bit of green. A salted egg yolk peeked halfway over the peaks, radiating the last afterglow of the evening sun.
Hermione sat beside him, holding a glass vial in her hand, which was ablaze with an orange-coloured flame.
It was truly a sight to be remembered for years to come!
"Andy, I can't believe you came to watch the sunset."
Hermione said in a very surprised tone, "I thought magic was the only thing on your mind."
It sounded like the little witch was a little happy.
Andy smiled and said softly, "It's been too tense for a while, I needed to come out and relax a bit!"
In fact, Andy didn't want to stay in the castle at all right now.
Who knew when Snape would do something to Harry?
So after dinner, Andy brought Hermione outside the castle to watch the sunset.
Andy had already planned to hang out outside the castle until it got dark, then he would immediately go back to his dormitory and not come out until dawn tomorrow morning.
In any case, going back to the dormitory just after dinner was a bit abnormal and inconsistent with Andy's persona, no matter how you looked at it.
As a matter of fact, no young wizard would go back to his dormitory immediately after dinner.
So Andy could only spend his hours hanging out outside the castle.
I'm damned clever!
Andy gave a nod to his own intelligence!
"The scenery of Hogwarts is actually quite beautiful, but after staying for a long time, it doesn't feel special anymore."
Andy glanced back in the direction of the castle.
It was already a bit dark, and Hogwarts Castle towered over the setting sun, with warm-coloured lights shining through the windows to the outside, it looked like a rather otherworldly beauty.
"I've always thought Hogwarts was beautiful."
Hermione said cheerfully, "It's far from the hustle and bustle of the city, but it's lively, and there's a bit of mystery in the liveliness, coupled with a thousand years of history ..."
"I think I've fallen in love with Hogwarts!"
Andy smiled at her words, "That's just right! After graduation, I plan to stay at the school and become the Headmaster of Hogwarts. For a long time to come, this castle will belong to us."
That's right, Andy had already treated Hogwarts as his own private property.
That's my castle!
Hermione gave Andy an unexpected look, the young witch was a little excited now.
Did Andy just imply something?
This castle belongs to us ...
Hermione thought, could it be that Andy had asked her out tonight to confess his love?
Wouldn't it be a bit too early?
If he confessed, should I say yes?
Poof-
In the middle of Hermione's wild thoughts, someone suddenly broke out of the Black Lake's water. They looked a bit wretched, their clothes were soaked through, and both of them were shivering a bit as the cold wind blew through.
Andy was stunned by this!
Who are these two people?
Professor Leddy?
Well, this person was not important!
The other short man was ... Harry Potter!
Andy had a 'fuck' trying to get out of his mouth, I've already hid outside the castle, and Harry, this big trouble, even managed to find his way here?
Moreover, he is probably already in trouble now!
This was a hallucination!
Andy was going to pretend he didn't see them.
"Professor Leddy? Potter?"
Hermione exclaimed, completely shattering Andy's illusion.
"What happened to you guys? How did you fall into the water?" Hermione asked in a hurry.
"You guys run!"
Professor Leddy pushed Harry over as soon as he could, "We've been attacked by a dark wizard, you guys go back to the castle and inform the professor!"
Andy already had pulled out his wand in resignation.
But hearing Professor Leddy's words ...
You guys run ... No, it's us who are running?
If you say so ...
As soon as Andy pulled Harry up from the ground, he said with a serious look on his face, "Let's go inform the professor!"
